Description
A 70 year old olive imported from Spain, with the knotted, burred trunk that marks a tree that has been pruned and harvested for decades before it ever reached Dubai. The crown is broad and full, the trunk is thick enough to stand as a sculpture on its own, and it is sold as a single tree.
Why choose this Spanish olive tree?
- Grown and shaped in Spain for around 70 years, then lifted as a mature specimen
- Heavily textured trunk with burrs and folds that cannot be faked by younger stock
- Established canopy giving immediate shade and presence
- Exceptionally drought tolerant once settled, which suits UAE gardens
- Supplied in a root bag, ready for planting
Ideal for
- Villa entrances and front gardens where the tree is seen from the road
- Hotel, resort and commercial landscaping needing an instant mature tree
- Large courtyards, terraces and oversized planters
Care in the UAE
Full sun and sharp drainage are the two things an old olive needs. Water deeply at long intervals rather than a little every day, and reduce watering further in winter. Feed once a year. Light pruning after summer keeps the shape and lets air through the crown. Delivery and planting of a tree this size are done by our team after a site visit.
Plants Care
Watering:
Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.
Light:
Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.
Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.
Fertilizer:
Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! We ensure that every plant we send out meets two key criteria:
- We carefully inspect each plant for signs of root rot, pests, disease, and unhealthy foliage or stems. If we find any issues, we don’t ship the plant. This meticulous care ensures that every plant is healthy and ready to thrive in its new home.
- We ask ourselves if we’d proudly display the plant in our own homes and if it matches the online photos. If both answers are yes, we ship it. However, if you're not happy with your plant, we offer a hassle-free replacement within 14 days of delivery.
Yes, we strive to match the appearance of the plants shown online. While natural variations in color, shape, and size are to be expected, we do our best to ensure your plant closely resembles its online image.
Your plant will arrive in its nursery pot to ensure safe transportation. We recommend leaving it in this pot for at least 6 to 12 months to acclimate to your home’s environment. For succulents, which acclimate faster, we may replant them before shipping.
Consider the following:
- Light: A bright, indirect light spot offers more plant options than a shady area.
- Time: Some plants need minimal care, while others require more attention.
- Style: Choose plants that match your aesthetic, whether tree-like with large leaves or vining varieties.
